Stairway is NOT stolen Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The first time I ever heard 'Since I've been loving You', I closed my eyes and pictured the members of the band playing it in a New York bar late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwiches Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I definitely prefer TFO. SIBLY has never really been a song I can listen to over and over again, then again TFO isn't much of that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 SIBLY all the way for me. When I listen to Tea for One lately, all I can think is Why no keyboards on this? It is just crying out for keys, to me. I'll have to ask Jonesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I love both, but Tea For One says something more to me. The sentiments seems more personal, too - as if Robert's not just singing a blues lyric, he's actually feeling it. Then again, that could just be my subjectivity, knowing what we do about the circumstances surrounding the recording of Presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's always been Tea For One, for me. No contest. It is slow, intense and just a lot more sensual and mature, in comparison to Since I've Been Loving You. JMO. You can just hear a myriad of emotions. The longing. The loneliness. Wow! Just one of Led Zeppelin's all-time greatest songs, IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark LaMotte Foster Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I vote for Tea For One, mostly because people treat it like a bastard child of SIBLY. Unfortunately, this can t be helped, but I think many people agree that Tea For One stands on its own. First of all, Robert s voice is incredible, it really sounds haggard and lost, like lord, get me the F home . It is the blues on a completely personal level. The music sticks with him in solidarity, those slow riffs muscling along like some poor wounded creature at the end of hope. I also love the reverb gloss on everything, very intimate. Finally, that opening groove is fantastic...it s sudden beginning is over just as were starting to get rolling with it. Like the band want to rock out, but at the moment the clouds are just too dark. They don t sound bored, they sound resigned...and they went out and recorded what that feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover 75 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Don't care for either, but picking one, SIBLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
